I wanted to laugh, then cry, and not just because of the nostalgia for flip phones, but by the truth hit home by Shirin and her experiences.

Withdrawing into solitude after enduring a year of cruel prejudice in the aftermath of September 11, Muslim teen Shirin, an enthusiastic break dancer, struggles to trust a boy who is the first friend who really seems to want to know her.

I work in the Circulation Department at Northwest Library. My mom was a librarian for 25 years and I've been working in libraries since I was 16, so it's safe to say that books play a very important role in my life. My reading interests vary, but I particularly enjoy nonfiction, teen and contemporary fiction. In addition to curling up on my couch with a book and a cat, I enjoy traveling, running, soccer and drinking copious amounts of tea.
